June 22, 2025
Samsung’s flurry ofbudget-friendly smartphonelaunches in India continues with the release of theSamsung Galaxy A70. The latest addition to the ever-expandingGalaxy A familyis all set to join the extremely competitive premium mid-range segment. However, the Galaxy A70 comes with a flagship-level feature that further separates it from its lower-tier siblings and the pack:Samsung Paysupport.
Here’s everything you need to know about using Samsung Pay on the Samsung Galaxy A70!
Samsung Pay features in India
Samsung Pay allows you to pay at most retail stores in India by simply pointing your Samsung smartphone towards a payment terminal, instead of swiping a credit or debit card or sharing your payment information. The service also supports mobile wallets like Paytm and Mobikwik, and enables money transfers using the Unified Payments Interface (UPI).
One of the reasons for Samsung Pay’s popularity is because it works with all regular swipe-based card machines that support NFC or MST (magnetic secure transmission). MST sends a magnetic signal from the smartphone to the payment terminal’s card reader to emulate swiping a physical card. Since there’s no hardware or software upgrade required to the payment terminal, Samsung Pay isn’t hindered by the lack of adoption of modern terminals.
Not to be outdone by the numerous e-payment options available in the country, you can also clear mobile, internet, electricity, water, landline, DTH, and other bills using the Samsung Pay app. Samsung is also looking to help you with yourpersonal financeneeds, with offers for credit cards and personal loans available, as well as the ability to check your credit score directly through the app.
